dc.description.abstractRheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disorder and common symptom of RA is chronic synovial inflammation. The pathogenesis of RA is not fully understood. Therefore, we aimed to identify underlying common and distinct molecular signatures and pathways among ten types of tissue and cells obtained from patients with RA. In this study, transcriptomic data including synovial tissues, macrophages, blood, T cells, CD4+T cells, CD8+T cells, natural killer T (NKT), cells natural killer (NK) cells, neutrophils, and monocyte cells were analyzed with an integrative and comparative network biology perspective. Each dataset yielded a list of differentially expressed genes as well as a reconstruction of the tissue-specific protein-protein interaction (PPI) network. Molecular signatures were identified by a statistical test using the hypergeometric probability density function by employing the interactions of transcriptional regulators and PPI. Reporter metabolites of each dataset were determined by using genome-scale metabolic networks. It was defined as the common hub proteins, novel molecular signatures, and metabolites in two or more tissue types while immune cell-specific molecular signatures were identified, too. Importantly, miR-155-5p is found as a common miRNA in all tissues. Moreover, NCOA3, PRKDC and miR-3160 might be novel molecular signatures for RA. Our results establish a novel approach for identifying immune cell-specific molecular signatures of RA and provide insights into the role of common tissue-specific genes, miRNAs, TFs, receptors, and reporter metabolites. Experimental research should be used to validate the corresponding genes, miRNAs, and metabolites.
